stick adhesive tape around the screw, to protect the surface of the
module. (This are the things one learns after the first try)

"The complete frame is a kit, which is fixed by screws. You might
unscrew
the side panel, which is closer to the stuck screw. After that you can
draw the module with the nut bar out of the profile, which holds the nut

bar. when the nut bar and the module are removed from he profile, it
should be more easy to grab the screws head with pliers."

Looks a little scary, but if telekinesis doesn't work, I might try that.
Thanks...the stuck screw is in the middle (top right of the a-155), to
the left of the a-154, so I'm visualizing this very well, but maybe if I
drink enough before I do it...
